    Washer/Dryer combo installed in Outdoor Kitchen

    DW and I decided wanted to add a washer/dryer in out 308BHTS to allow for extended stays. I found a deal on a used vented Splendide combo on FB and set out to install it in our Bunkhouse. After some deliberation over the amount of modifications needed to get the washer/dryer to fit in the BH, we decided to install it in the outdoor kitchen instead. The plumbing installation was pretty straight forward, teeing into the existing outdoor kitchen waster supply and drain. For venting I ran a 3" duct down the right side. May put a vent port above the furnace ports in the future. Most time consuming part was shortening the upper cabinets by 6". I also added some 2x2 bracing under the countertop to help with the extra weight. I plan to add some anchor points to secure the washer while on the road. Overall I'm very pleased with the outcome.

    Supplies:
    - Pex 1/2 pipe, 2X Tee fitting and clamps.
    - 1.5 PVC for p-trap and drain.
    - Hot/Cold Washer Valves: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    - 2X Sharkbite swivel connections: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    - 3" aluminum flexible duct

    Here are few pictures of the install along with the before shot.

    That looks very functional. You may have addressed this and I'm just not seeing it. Do you have a countertop drain or pan to channel water away from the basement should the washer leak internally or overfill?



    So the signature line isn't working yet....

    Great point. Drain pan arrived cracked. Replacement is on order. I plan to drill a hole through the floor to direct the water down to the ground.
